Well, it's official. I have Shingles. AGAIN.
For those not in the loop, I've had Shingles once before, in March of 2023. 3 weeks ago, I attempted to get the vaccine for Shingles from my VA doctor, who point-blank refused, in direct opposition to CDC guidelines. So, now, I get to suffer through this disease once again.
If you value Veterans, don't thank us for our service. Contact your state and federal elected officials, and make it clear that your vote for them is dependant on their record in regards to veteran care.
We don't need words. We need actions.

Another short clip of another former IDF soldier angry with politicians who continue to send conscripts to war & provide no psychological support once their service has ended and they are "damaged goods" with PTSD.

Status update for FY2024
All bills have cleared the House Subcommittees. All but four have cleared Senate Committees, and all but two have cleared House Committees. None have been voted on on the floor yet, but that may change with H.R. 4366, Military Construction/Veterans funding, now being debated. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/4366
We are just over two months out but there are signs of progress, but little optimism.

Perceptron learning, generalization, model selection, fault tolerance, and their role in the deep learning era have broad applications in various industries, including the federal government. Here are a few ways these concepts could impact the federal government:
1. Perceptron Learning: Perceptron learning is a simple algorithm used in machine learning to classify data into two categories. In the federal government, perceptron learning could be used for various tasks, such as detecting fraud in financial transactions, predicting the likelihood of a terrorist attack, or identifying potential cybersecurity threats.
2. Generalization: In machine learning, generalization refers to the ability of a model to perform well on new, unseen data. In the federal government, generalization could be used to develop models that can accurately predict the outcome of a new policy or program.
3. Model Selection: Model selection is the process of choosing the best model from a set of candidate models. In the federal government, model selection could be used to select the best model for predicting the outcome of a policy or program, such as the impact of a new trade agreement on the economy.
4. Fault Tolerance: Fault tolerance refers to the ability of a system to continue operating despite the failure of one or more components. In the federal government, fault tolerance could be used to ensure the continuity of critical systems, such as those used for national defense or emergency response.
5. Role in the Deep Learning Era: Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers to learn from data. In the federal government, deep learning could be used for various tasks, such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics.
Overall, the concepts of perceptron learning, generalization, model selection, fault tolerance, and their role in the deep learning era could have a significant impact on the federal government. These concepts could be used to develop models and systems that can help the government make better decisions, improve efficiency, and enhance national security.

Sure… This is probably not the post you think it is. It’s Veteran’s day, which if you don’t know me or haven’t seen my previous posts on the matter, I’m not a huge fan of it. Sure, celebrations, free food, blah, blah, blah, all great. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to come off as the person who doesn’t like a party, or worse someone who wants to berate people for having fun. No, I just don’t…

Marion: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life.
Sean: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?
Marion: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die.
Jean: *not looking up from her book* Edible.

Bottom Table OT3: The Playlist
We, like Jinnah, will mourn our lads forever
(click for song explanations!)
Take Me Out To The Ball Game - Ed Meeker
"Eldritch Harrahs," He says, fingering the bright red laces on a baseball like a rosary
Team - Lorde
Classic poly theme, living in ruins.
"And everyone's competing For a love they won't receive 'Cause what this palace wants is release."
Ravenous - Autumn Orange
Impeccible vibes.
Eat Your Young - Hozier
Post-war heroes left in slums with their ghosts
"Come and get some Skinnin' the children for a war drum Puttin' food on the table, sellin' bombs and guns It's quicker and easier to eat your young"
Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac
A shiny jade jewel in said slums
"She rings like a bell through the night And wouldn't you love to love her? She rules her life like a bird in flight And who will be her lover?"
Boats & Birds - Gregory & The Hawk
Children without souls
"If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze I live to make you free, I live to make you free…"
Hearts a Mess - Gotye
Sean Fucking Finnerty
"You have lost too much love To fear, doubt and distrust, it's not enough You just threw away the key to your heart Don't get burned 'cause nothing gets through It makes it easier, easier on you That much more difficult for me To make you see."
Love In The Time Of Socialism - Yellow House
Teenagers all in love with each other
"But I am home wherever you are near There's no life in anything When you're not here."
Whatever Fits Together - Skullcrusher
I mean…
"Do you ever look back? Does it all fit together? If we're here, does it matter? (If we're here, does it matter?)"
Marked For Death - Emma Ruth Rundle
Marion & Jean
"Who else is going to love someone like me that’s marked for death? Who else is going to be with me when I breathe it all?"
Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect - The Decemberists
Marion & Sean
"And here I dreamt I was a soldier And I marched the streets of Birkenau And I recall in spring The perfume that the air would bring To the indolent town Where the barkers call the moon down The carnival was ringing loudly now And just to lay with you There's nothing that I wouldn't do Save lay my rifle down"
Hard Times - Ethel Cain
The Exorcists' Daughter
"Tell me a story About how it ends Where you're still the good guy I'll make pretend 'Cause I hate this story Where happiness ends And dies with you."
Edith's Theme - Crimson Peak
The Lighthouse
Say Yes To Heaven - Lana Del Rey
Sean & Jean
"If you go, I'll stay You come back, I'll be right here Like a barge at sea In the storm, I stay clear 'Cause I've got my mind on you I've got my mind on you…"
Sunlight - Hozier
Sean & Jean & Marion
"All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that’s born in cold and rain Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight And, at last, can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight."
Your Protector - Fleet Foxes
The Circle of Needle & Thread
"As you lay to die beside me, baby On the morning that you came Would you wait for me? The other one would wait for me."
The Mother Road - Chelsea Wolfe
The doc who knows she'll never lead a normal life, have a normal love.
"I do not have a child But I'm old enough to know some pain And I'm hell-bent on loving you Women know what it is to endure."
Running Up That Hill - Placebo
All too stubborn to let each other die.
"Oh, come on, baby Oh, come on, darlin' Let me steal this moment from you now Oh, come on, angel Come on, come on, darlin' Let's exchange the experience…"
A Vampire's Heart - Peter Gundry
Doplegangers
Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine
Jean, Sean, & Marion
"I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you…"
Oh, To Dream Of Such Eldritch Things - Autumn Orange
The Compromised Lightkeeper
A Shot Rang Out - Emily Jane White
Sean FUCKING Finnerty, Marion, Jean
"Dreamers we aren't few But I don’t want to bury my dreams with you."
The Ghost On The Shore - Lord Huron
Man down
"Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it…"
Call Your Mom - Noah Kahan
You can't do this to Peggy, bud.
"Medicate, meditate, save your soul for Jesus Throw a punch, fall in love, give yourself a reason Don't wanna drive another mile without knowin' you're breathin' So won't you stay, won't you stay, won't you stay with me?"
Funeral - Phoebe Bridgers
War boys wearing the same face, so many hearts.
"And last night, I blacked out in my car And I woke up in my childhood bed Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself When I remembered someone's kid is dead…"
Francesca - Hozier
Jean & Marion re: Sean
"Now that it's done There's not one thing that I would change My life was a storm since I was born How could I fear any hurricane?"
Is Your Love Strong Enough? - GWTDT
"Just one beat of your heart And stranger than fantasy I knew from the start It had to be the place for me Someone that I would die for There's no way I could ever leave."
Death With Dignity - Sufjan Stevens
The Survivor
"Spirit of my silence I can hear you, but I'm afraid to be near you And I don't know where to begin And I don't know where to begin…"
My Love - Florence + The Machine
The Next Step
"My arms emptied, the skies emptied The buildings emptied…"
